The people at the desk were not friendly at all. The hotel for a one night stay for the price is great
PHIL, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent stay for price. Not the Hyatt and not the RedRoof. Would be ideal place for football games due to proximity.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

Our second time here. The location is good. House keeping & some front desk staff are courteous and do prompt service. Bed & linens are fine. Good parking space. But the floors, furniture, carpet need cleaning & replaced. There were dead bugs in bathroom. Stains on carpets & old furnishings. Overall comfortable stay.

Bathroom floor wasn’t clean at all. Toilet leaked. Toilet seat yellow and discolored. Cracks in walls and stains all over the carpet

This place is a dump!

This hotel is a dump! Floors where dirty like they havent been vacummed in days, and there was dry blood on the bathroom floor. I woke up this morning and stared at the ceiling and eww grossed, the dirt and cobwebs on the ceiling is disgusting.

Matt, 1-night trip

Phones were down, dead bugs on the floor of the room, mold on the curtains, and gnats in the bathroom. Overall dirty and dated. Staff was very nice, but the condition of the hotel left a lot to be desired.
Cheyenne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pleasant and convenient

Pleasant, well-situated on the edge of the IU campus convenient to university and town. Bed was large and comfy, staff was friendly and competent.
Joseph, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Spacious room wish for functional amenities

Staff was friendly. Room was not ready until after 5p. Mgr offered a drink and snack on the house. Bathroom smelled like a dirty cloth. Bathtub clogged and did not drain well. Cold water faucet worked but not well/ broken. Bar not open and restaurant only open for breakfast. Room was spacious and hotel conveniently located.

Only issue was the air conditioner was a bit too loud when it was running otherwise it was a good stay

10/10 Exceptional

Was amazing we had our dogs with and were gone most of the day and in the room evening and night. Peaceful when we were in the room didn’t hear much outside the room only problem we had was key for rooms didn’t like to work had to continuously try over and over again to get in room
Clayton, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not so good

There was no phone number to hotel. Every number listed either just rang or was not a working number. They did not respond to me messaging them either I was trying to contact them to request early check in. So we just had to arrive in person and ask and was told no despite me being an IHG member. Then I wanted to pay the $50 deposit separately on a different card or even offered cash and they said no. The women working breakfast were extremely good. Comforters smelled. Good location for IU visit
Holly, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Wasn’t my favorite stay in Bloomington.

This stay was a little rough, but hoping some honest feedback helps. 3-night stay during move-in week. Room was expensive. Not one staff member smiled from check in to check out. Not one but two separate staff ladies chased me out of the breakfast room because I wouldn’t share my room number. Piles of dirty linens in hall on top of filthy carpet. Hair all over bathroom floor, and a/c didn’t work. Bed was pretty comfy to be fair. Hate to write this but trying to be honest.
William, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Good stay but lacking a lot of modern amenities.

The hotel was clean which i appreciate but very dated. During our stay the satellite was out so tv was limitied to 1 channel. The hotel store didn't have diet coke. The bar was out of Captain Morgan and Bud Light. The pool however, was very clean and well kept.
Amy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was very convenient and pleasant.
Fantasia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff members were very friendly. The room and furnishings are a bit out dated but it was worth the cost for the stay.
Kristen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here for graduation weekend and I was very happy with the hotel and the service we received. I appreciated that the hotel did not require a 3 night minimum and didn't gouge the prices like many other hotels in the area. The service was very friendly. And a special shout out to the women that ran the breakfast buffet, they exemplified custoer relations - wonderful employees!
Jennifer, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was very friendly and helpful, the public areas nicer than the more dated hallways and rooms. Was annoyed that the Expedia rate was $10 more per night than the hotel rate.

Fine for a quick over night stay. It is in need for some updates.
Kelly, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room was horrible. The internet was spotty and we had no dish signal. The ceilings were peeling and had mold scattered across the peelings. The bathroom toilet leaked so it made the bathroom floor slippery. The tub didn’t have anything to grip to its bottom, which made it very slippery. Will not stay at this hotel again.
Kerri, 1-night trip

Customer desk was great. Good place. No inside pool or hot tub for relaxing time
